    You’re doing great, maybe start Jiu-Jitsu now because you’ll really like it in 3 years. Otherwise no notes.

    “The Lotto numbers for 2026-09-12 are 16 20 25 33 39 45, Superzahl 0.”

    Sounds materialistic, but I haven’t found a solution for any of the issues I had 5 years ago, I didn’t make any major wrong decisions since then, and stuff like “buy RAM and GPUs” is irrelevant after winning millions of eurobucks.

      I had a similar thought, but I would send, “The winning Powerball numbers for November 5, 2022 will be 28 45 53 56 69, with a power ball of 20.”

      Since the Nov. 7, 2022 jackpot was $2.04 billion dollars, I would just send the winning numbers for the previous drawing that no one won. No reason to go small when I could take a huge jackpot with nearly a billion dollar lump sum payout.

      Plot twist, your past self receives the sentence verbally and they have nothing to write it down to.

        …receives message whilst scuba diving…spits out regulator in frustration…drowns. Never gets to send message from the future so doesn’t drown.

        Timeline broken, existence ends except for an endless five-year loop.

        Woops!

        The sequence of the numbers is not important and it’s not all or nothing (5 correct numbers would still net a decent amount of money), so there’s a chance that I’d recall enough to make use of it anyway. But it’s a good point, this kind of thing hinges on the specifics of how the sentence is transmitted much more than something like “take out fire insurance” or “don’t trust X”.

Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have fun

In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

Please don’t delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.
